Philosophy of the Machine 11

If we remember that the machina mundi, like the Deus ex Machina, flies in from above, it's unsurprising that the scene of the Machine Discourse shifts to where the Politics of Heaven are fought over. It's the emerging Christianity that takes up the Machine question - albeit in a way that seems like a palimpsest, a parchment that has been scraped over and over again: constantly rewritten.This chapter deals with the paradox of the Christian world (which is trying to free itself from ancient materialism) becoming the catalyst of the Machine World - through the detour of Universal Scriptural Writing and the Assumption of the Immaculate Conception. It's a movement that inevitably led to the building of Cathedrals, the founding of Universities, and the book society of the Renaissance.Speaker: Hopkins StanleySound-Design: Martin BurckhardtMusic: Hopkins Stanley & Martin BurckhardtFrom: The Philosophy of the Machine, translated by Hopkins Stanley and Martin Burckhardt.
